10:18 pm
washington to take a more muscular role in north camp, the white house has resisted relying instead on partnerships with regional leaders to dismantle extremist -- in north africa, the white house has resisted relying instead on partnerships with regional leaders to dismantle extremist groups. algerian officials said today they will not allow foreigners to secure the country's oilfields, yet another indication algeria is unlikely to strengthen ties with western governments in an effort to stamp out islamic extremists. five people are dead in new mexico, three of them children. authorities say a 15-year-old pulled the trigger. the boy has been identified as nehemiah griego.

10:24 pm
continue. then change will come. e. >> the cathedral says they will continue to do their part to keep the problem of gun violence and its solutions in the public eye. meanwhile the white house has said the president does not expect to get all his gun control proposals through congress. fox's doug mckelway has more on the effort to prevent further gun violence. >> reporter: after the trauma of the sandy hook massacre the urgent call to limit americans' easy access to guns has met with some stiff resistance and exposed america's cultural divide over firearms. the president offered 23 different executive actions which would strengthen background checks, better address the issue of mental health and call for armed officers in schools that want them, but the politics of gun legislation are fraught with danger for the president. there are 24 senate seats up for grabs in 2014 including in the gun friendly states of arkansas, new hampshire, iowa, louisiana and south dakota which suggest any gun control measures will have to be a
10:25 pm
compromise. >> everyone is trying to divert from the core issue which is there is a huge consensus in the country including a vast majority of republicans that things like assault weapons, high capacity magazines, universal background checks, making progress on mental health, these are things we should and can do to help reduce gun violence. >> i think this is a moment we can do something about mental health, about information sharing, maybe about background checks and other things as well, but it has to be a plan that could possibly work or the president won't get it done. >> reporter: but the president has promised to put to work the very same campaign organization that brought him an unprecedented turnout last november to work now for grassroots changes to gun laws. coming up tonight it may only be day one of president obama's second term, but some of his peers re already putting their two cents into his next four years. what they think he needs to do, plus our fox 5 political analyst mark plotkin will weigh in on the discussion. we'll be right back.

10:29 pm
this is fox 5 news at 10:00. as president obama begins his second term, there are questions about what he wants to get done. he's tackled several big issues in his first four years and now he's working on gun policy, but with today's political climate can he get anything done this time around? fox 5 political analyst fox 5's political reporter melanie alnwick has the current thinking. >> reporter: as president obama takes the oath of office for a second time, the white house is well aware that history has not been kind to presidential incumbents. >> second terms have been tough. george w. bush left with the economy melting down and the lowest approval ratings practically in history for a president. bill clinton was impeached. richard nixon resigned his office. >> reporter: american
10:30 pm
university historian dr. allan lichtman says president obama must use the power of the people to sway congress and it appears that will be part of the inaugural address. >> he's going to talk about our political system doesn't require to us resolve all our disputes or political difference, but it does require us to seek chop ground when it can and should exist. -- common ground when it can and should exist. he's going to make that point very strongly. >> reporter: a new public opinion group will be made for public action. >> we want to make that there is people out there pushing for action. >> reporter: tax reform, entitlement, jobs and spending among the top issues for americans. gun control, climate change and international affairs are also on the agenda. you really don't have four years now. it will start to slip away very quickly. you've got to set some priorities because the president's time, the secretary
10:31 pm
of state's time, secretary of defense's time is pretty limited. you better know what you want to a believe in this three years or so. >> reporter: -- want to achieve in this three years or so. >> reporter: so will the outside ga really work? former insiders aren't sure. >> i think that's a new way to play it, a tough and dicey way to play it. >> reporter: the new harder line was evident from democrats on meet the press, senator schumer pushing back they've months on the budget in exchange for cooperation on the debt ceiling. republican senator roy blunt of missouri says president obama should study president lincoln. >> when hard things get done, they get done because a president decided he was going to do what was necessary to get them done and that means you got to realistically look at the world you live in and the washington you've been given by the american voters to work with. >> reporter: and that means a divided congress and another election season not far away.
10:32 pm
melanie alnwick, fox 5 news. >> let's bring in now fox 5 political analyst mark plotkin on this discussion about the inauguration and expand a little bit on some of the president's accomplishments and his challenges coming up his second term, mark. let's start with his accomplishments in the first four years. what would you say some of the biggest accomplishments the president made? >> you have to start with health insurance. that's when had he a democratic -- when he had a democratic house and senate. that was his chief legislative goal and he accomplished that. killing osama bin laden, maybe it it was symbolic, but obviously it was important and he accomplished that and then stablizing the economy. it's in free-fall. it's not what it should be, but people do give credit for at
10:33 pm
least stablizing. the stock market is at a five- year high. housing prices are going up, so i would list those as three major accomplishments. >> it's still a challenge going forward because there's more work to be done and let's talk about nose challenges. i know gun -- those challenges. i know gun policy will be at the top and with a divided congress. >> i think that's going to be the least successful. they're going to get extensive background checks with a collection of data, but i don't know about assault ban or any other restrictions on gun rights or gun usage. i think where he will succeed is where republicans learned on immigration. they can't afford -- 72% of the hispanics voted for president obama. they can't afford it. it's a terminal electoral prospect if the country is changing in the demographics like it is. so i think something will be done about immigration and the other thing to watch is with the appointment of chuck hagel
10:34 pm
for defense, if he gets it, he wants the commitment in iraq is over, but he wants to very much diminish any involvement or military forces in afghanistan. >> we're looking at the private swearing in that happened today which per the 20th amendment it must happen at noon on the 20th day of january. what do you expect we're going to hear tomorrow from the president when he speaks following his public swearing in? >> well, i think he's going to try again what he did four years ago to say like we're not red states or blue states. that was actually from the keynote which i was at in 2004 in boston. we're the united states of america. i think he's very confident because of the election victory. he's going to say let us try to come reason together. that's an lbj line in terms of republicans and then he's maybe going to talk about income inequality. you know, he's really got to go for broke in terms of being
10:35 pm
ambitious in terms of an agenda and i think he's going to talk about poverty and talk about the difference in salaries and wealth and then i think he's going to try to say something about entitlements and that the pain and sacrifice will have to be borne by everybody. >> where is he tonight, mark, ahead of tomorrow? >> tonight he's at a thing you party at the national building museum -- he's at a thank you party at the national building museum. this is their day to jockey for ambassadorial slots. it's done with democrats and republicans, but this is a thank you party for people who raised enough money so he could be successful. >> you've covered many of
10:36 pm
these. >> immanent college, laura. >> no. -- i'm ancient, laura. >> no, you are not. give us some of your perspective on past inaugurations. i know you've been to them dating back to the '60s. >> '65. i remember watching john kennedy get up to help robert frost with the wind when he was reading a poem, but i was just a kid, but i came to gw in 1964. so i saw the johnson inaugural. it was facing the west front. it was much more intimate and cramped sort of in the back -- excuse me, the east front and then i remember jimmie walker -- jimmy carter walking. >> that was what the secret service called him. >> yes. that created quite a stir in january of '77. in '80 reagan went to the west front because he wanted to look west and that was something and then in 1996 just a personal remembrance i was at georgia
10:37 pm
brown's eating lunch and i walked out and bill clinton, the great procrastinator, was riding by in his limousine and i saw through the window he was still writing revisions of his second inaugural address, but it's always an extraordinary event and, of course, nobody could forget obama, just the surge, just the enormous, enormous crowds that were unbelievable. so that's kind of a smorgasboard of my ancient memories. e appreciate re a walking the color that you can provide. >> thank you. >> fox 5 political analyst mark plotkin, thanks as always. sports is coming up next when the news at 10:00 returns. coming up could joe flacco and the ravens finally get past tom brady and the patriots? scott smith is back with a wild day in the nfl conference title game. >> big change in our temperatures coming, cooler air heading right towards us. we'll have to keep our iced closed. we've got a frontal system --
10:38 pm
eyes closed. we've got a frontal system coming through. 
10:39 pm
10:40 pm
10:41 pm
i guess if we can't have the redskins there, the ravens will do. >> just unprecedented. we have two brothers heading to the super bowl facing each other, nobody happier than their parents because either way they'll be celebrating. the road to the super bowl is paved with adversity and no team has done a better job overcoming it than the baltimore ravens whether it was heartbreaking personal losses off the field or key personnel losses on the field. they always bounced back, rose to the occasion. tonight's occasion, the afc championship game. john harbaugh and his gang a chance to get even with the team that ended their season on this very stage one year ago, the patriots. 2nd quarter ray rice bouncing it outside. baltimore finds the end zone first. it's a 7-3 ravens lead. bill belichick is one of the
10:42 pm
best playoff home records of all time. the pats answer quickly. tom brady caps a 79-yard drive connecting with wes welker making it 10-7 new england. pats tight end rob gronkowski was out. pats by 6 at the half, but an excellent 2nd half by baltimore. joe flacco to dennis pitta. ravens retake the lead 14-13 and don't look back. anquan boldin was huge for joe flacco tonight, one of two touchdown receptions. flacco 20 it unof 36, 240 yards -- 21 of 36, 240 yards through the air. ravens 28-13. how about the other harbaugh, jim and the 49ers taking on atlanta after trailing 17-0 in the 2nd quarter. colin kaepernick to vernon davis, the former terp making it 17-14. they're within three. davis had 106 yards receiving. just before the half matt ryan hit tony gonzalez. could be it his last game? i don't know.
10:43 pm
ryan with a playoff career 271 yards passing just in the 1st half, 24-14 at the break. 4th quarter it's frank gore, the game winner 28-24, does the dirty bird, same frank going to the super bowl the first time since 1995. yes. it will be a har-bowl february 3rd when the two meet in new orleans. two more redskins heading to the pro bowl, linebacker london frencher and defensive end ryan care -- fletcher and defensive end ryan kerrigan. up next gwen tolbart has your full forecast. >> and it looks like a tornado tore through this home. you'll never guess who was responsible for this loss.
10:44 pm
so, we all set? i've got two tickets to paradise! pack your bags, we'll leave tonight. uhh, it's next month, actually... eddie continues singing: to tickets to... paradiiiiiise! no four. remember? whoooa whooaa whooo! you know ronny, folks who save hundreds of dollars by switching to geico sure are happy. and how happy are they jimmy? happier than eddie money running a travel agency. get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

10:47 pm
a new fingerprint scanner technology is helping catch criminals, but some critics say it's going too far. we have more as this new crime fighting technique is tested. >> reporter: mesa patrol officer todd reed is working his beat armed with a new tool in identifying suspects. >> just wonderful because where we used to be chasing a rabbit around the bush trying to identify them. >> reporter: trying to avoid what they call the name game in a high crime area he pulls out his new fingerprint scanner. with the man's consent officer reed takes scans of the left and right index fingers, takes it back to run against the name the man gave and it's a match. it took seconds to confirm. standard methods can take hours. it's a clear message to those who might give a false id. >> i think the truth would help, especially if you gave the wrong information and they can pull it up anyway. >> you can catch another charge if you are dishonest with the
10:48 pm
information. >> reporter: mesa police department has been trying out six scanners and want a federal grant for 30 more. officers want it to go further. >> the gentleman i spoke with did make admissions he's been arrested in kansas city and mississippi where he had committed crimes and since the system is not tied in nationwide we don't get any information back on that. so it would be very handy if it was tied into the national is. >> reporter: that raises serious questions about privacy and rights as more law enforcement officers are equipped with scanners. >> the police need rules and restrictions around how they use in technology. for example, they shouldn't be able to ask people to voluntarily turn over their fingerprints because when a police officer asks you to voluntarily do something, it's never truly voluntary. >> reporter: the scanners don't turn over data and police say the devices have become invaluable. in one case a suspect for a
10:49 pm
crime turned out to be wanted separately for a homicide. taking a look at the weather now and fox 5's gwen tolbart doesn't have very good news for us when it comes to the mercury. >> i wish it was today. we were 62 degrees today. it was unbelievable, what a surprise, but things are going to change because we've got a system coming through. it will give us a lot of changes in sky conditions and temperatures. i want to get right to it because i've got lots to talk about. let's begin with live look outside. you can see not much going on there, beisel shot. we've got a few clouds roll -- a beautiful shot. we've got a few clouds rolling in. we've had a ridge of high pressure in control, lots of blue skies today, but temperatures were well above the seasonal average today, 62 d.c., 58 at our other two airports, 17 to 19 degrees warmer than we should have been. that was a big treat. right now temperatures into the
10:50 pm
30s and 40s pretty much everywhere. we'll see a huge temperature drop. here's the national map, colder air starting to filter in across areas west of us and to the north and this is what's coming our way. we'll start to see temperatures take a plunge because we are dealing with an arctic air mass that will start to move in. right now a few clouds across the area, not too much going on. we'll see these clouds increasing into the course of late tomorrow into tomorrow and it's all in advance of a frontal system that will move through as we head into monday. we have one frontal system that's pretty much clearing the coast through the course of tonight into the evening hours. for tomorrow the second frontal system will kick in and in between that we're looking at some cloudy skies tomorrow for inauguration day, a chance of some rain or snow showers into the late afternoon, a chance of flurries into the late evening. we may see some. we may not. it's a 20 to 30% chance, but i cannot rule out the chance we won't see anything because this frontal system will be responsible for shifting it in
10:51 pm
